The Transplant Resource page is a collaborative project of NeedyMeds and American Transplant Association. It is intended to provide information on transplants and to streamline and simplify the way those in need of a transplant or have received a transplant may find assistance paying for their medications and other health care costs. According to the NIH, you may need an organ transplant if one of your own organs has failed. This can happen because of illness or injury. When you have an organ transplant, doctors remove an organ from another person and place it in your body. |
Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) are programs offered by pharmaceutical companies to help those most in need gain access to their medications at no or low cost. Each program has varying financial and insurance guidelines - when in doubt, call the program. To find the specific PAP information for a specific drug click on the list below. You will then be taken to a listing of all the programs available for that medication. The American Transplant Foundation and NeedyMeds neither promote nor endorse the therapies listed below nor the supporters of this page. This page is for educational purposes only. | |
